Establish “Food as Medicine” programs that promote health through better nutrition.
Establish “Food As Medicine” programs.
Investing in our health and wellness means equipping all Santa Barbara County residents with access to the necessary resources — from support services to education — to be healthy and productive individuals. One way we can achieve this is by addressing chronic health issues through better nutrition.
